Restore Corrupt Word 2003 doc

[Teresa]

We recently converted our OS from Windows 2000/Office 2000 to XP Professional/Office 2003. I have one folder out of several that was backed up to the server that is now corrupt. When I open the Word docs there is a page full of squares and no text. I have tried using the open files of type "recover text from any file". That leaves me a blank page. Is there a way to recover the docs?

Thanks for the article, but the folder was copied from the hard drive to the server and then Windows XP was loaded along with Office 2003. Then, all the folders that were originally on the hard drive and moved out to the server were then copied back to the hard drive. All the files in the folder are corrupt even the Adobe PDF files. I thought that XP had something built into it to recover corrupt files. Any ideas? Thank
